The speed on the pick 6 is insane. Also, he grabs the QB with one arm, swings him and lifts him off the ground. My God

I was there! My late great brother and I drove from Rochester, Michigan to the Silverdome, got two tickets for $5.00 each and sat in the endzone where LT caught his interception. Great memories~! Miss ya Cupcake!

that 1 handed sack is just magnificent

Goodness L.T. looked like a wide receiver with that speed. I remember how good he was but this game reminds me why he was the most dominant defensive player

1:52

the greatest of all time

Any defensive player that wants to call himself the greatest needs to be better than this. LT is the gold standard.

The greatest defensive player in the history of the NFL. I was proud to be at the HOF to see his induction in 1999.

I remember watching this game in 1982. LT was a freak! The GOAT!

If I was to build a team around 1 player from any NFL era, it would be the greatest defender of all time...LT.

This game is the beginning of the Lawrence Taylor legend.

Lawrence Taylor is the Greatest Football Player to ever play the game. Love your videos John Smith.

as if it needs to be said but watch the speed on that interception folks, especially those of you too young to have seen him in his prime. he would shed the blocker and be all over the QB before they could even react half the time. Forget about throwing the ball away or tucking it and running for positive yardage, you were lucky if you had enough time to bring the ball down and protect against a fumble/strip-sack. LT had a combo of size, strength, ferocity and speed the likes of which have not been seen before or since.

This was unbelievable! LT 13 LIONS 6 lol

LT was an athletic marvel-check out the speed on that 95 yard interception return. A 245 lb linebacker and no one was even gaining on him. Also, his display of strength on the sack is just incredible. Superior, one of a kind athleticism.

i remember watching this game with my grand pop i was only 12 my grandpop said he was a mother to block i didnt truly understsnd how great LT was until i got older great stuff!!!!!!

I just watched this again for the millionth time and I’m still blown away...

There was a flag on that last INT return. Lions TE David Hill picked up the flag and wagged his finger at Taylor as if to say, "It's coming back." The penalty was a hold on the Lions and the TD stood. So it goes.

Greatest defensive player of all time. Period.

I love LT and it always makes me lmao when John Madden says Lawrence Taylor He almost liked saying his name as much as Brett Favre
